Sixth (1995, February): TSR Dragon logo. 12-digit UPC. Canadian suggested retail price $26. Glossy cover. D&D product listings on the front and back fly leaves. Advert on next to last page is for Council of Wryms.

Eighth? (1999): 18-digit UPC, $20.00 U.S. and $30.00 Canadian cover prices. Continues to state "Seventh Printing: March, 1996" on interior although it has 1999 copyright date elsewhere in interior and on back cover.

ShaneG._________________I reject your reality and substitute one of my own!

I have a hardcover that matches this:
* dragon Logo
* 2nd Edition dropped
* 2nd last page Coucil of Wyrms advert
* Canadian retail is $25
* States 7th printing March 1996
It does however have a UK suggested retail price of 11.99 pounds and only has the 1991 TSR Inc copyright

What are the WotC addresses? The ones on the back of this book are 201 Sheridan SPrings Rd, Lake Geneva and 120 Church End. I think these are the TSR ones.

Okay, this is what I have . . . keep in mind, I can't verify interior contents as these are archived pics. 1st is Angled TSR logo, 2nd is Gold Logo, no Canadian price. 3rd/4th has Canadian price of $23.50. 4th/5th has Canadian price of $24.00 (I do not know which is 3rd/4th/5th as one is missing and I can't open them up to do further research).

6th is Dragon Logo. 7th is Black Cover. I don't have any scans of the 8th.

I have just finished a three week project whereby I scanned, OCRed, and typeset my 2nd printing of the Tome of Magic. My copy was junk and so for posterity (the PDF will be donated to WotC) it was dissasembled.

Here is a list of the errata or oddities that came to my attention. There may have been others that I missed.

To recap other items particular to the 2nd printing that have been discussed:

â¢ It uses the gold ingit TSR logo.
â¢ The spell Mindkiller has been changed to Mind Tracker (p. 107).
â¢ It lists the US price at $20.00 and U.K. price at Â£11.99. Canadian price is not listed.
â¢ It uses the AD&D 2nd Edition logo in blue.
â¢ It uses a 10-digit ISBN number.
â¢ It uses the Lake Geneva (U.S) and Cambridge (U.K.) addresses.

With the list of errata uncovered it should be possible to examine other printings and see what, if any, other oddities exist.

Please go ahead and post that other oddity. I will share in the thunder.<grin>

I may in the next month or so turn my attention to one of the other hardbound books of which we spoke. I first need to complete my "Digital Foreword" for the Tome of Magic and enter into a dialogue with WotC.

P.S. I believe we had discussed about you posting the two 2nd Ed. PHB covers I had sent you.
